SA to register in Tasmania
HOBART — The Socialist Alliance is planning to register as a political party in Tasmania in six weeks. This will enable the alliance's name to appear on ballot papers in state elections.“We need more than 100 people to sign membership declarations and agree to have their name and address published in Tasmania's daily papers”, state Socialist Alliance convener Kamala Emanuel told Â鶹´«Ã½ Weekly.
“It is a long time, possibly decades, since a socialist party has been registered in Tasmania. When we achieve registration, it will be an historic step forward for the left.”
Supporters can help the registration push by contacting Kamala Emanuel at PO Box 115, North Hobart 7002, phone 6234 6397 or email <hobart@socialist-alliance.org>.
